Gilda left us September 9, 2014. We were shocked and surprised. We lost a great Detroit Artist and a close friend of the Rep. She curated the Repertory lobby Gallery into a prominent and important part of the Metropolitan Detroit visual artist community. As a token of profound respect the Repertory Gallery will henceforth be known as the:

Detroit Repertory Theatre
Gilda Snowden Gallery

Detroit Repertory Theatre Gilda Snowden Gallery

Original works of arts are displayed in the lobby of the Repertory throughout the DRT’s season. Michigan artists submit their portfolios. When chosen, their works are exhibited and sold during the run of each DRT production. The Rep collects no commission.

The Detroit Repertory Theatre Gilda Snowden Gallery is alternative exhibition space for emerging and mid-career artists of the Metropolitan Detroit area. Space is given for one-person, two-person, or group theme shows of two-dimensional works of art.

SubmissionsArtists who are interested in being considered for a future show should submit a resume outlining exhibition record and education, at least 10 slides or a CD of recent pieces that exhibit a sustained, cohesive vision in a body of related works, and a SASE to Gallery Director, Jocelyn Rainey.
